Anti-sway Works Well...
This CURT 17200 Trailer Anti-Sway Bar Control Kit works well. This is a simple yet effective sway control device. It is essentially a brake pad clamped to a flat bar. The tightness of the clamp can be adjusted by turning the adjustment screw. I have tried several adjustments and can definitely hear it groaning when making slow turns.I guess that means it's working.Installation could be better. Self tapping screws (these are not self drilling) are easily stripped and not what I would consider reliable. I prefer to drill through the frame and use grade 8 bolts, although I haven't done that yet and the included mounting screws have been okay so far (500 +- miles). The little ball joints and presto pins that mount it seem fairly cheesy but have worked sufficiently. It mounts and dismounts easily.This is used on my 26" travel trailer that weighs about 6000 pounds. Tow vehicle is 2011 Chevy Avalanche, so its a pretty soft ride compared with a pickup truck. I towed it a couple times with no sway control and it was indeed quite "wandering". 70 mph on the interstate was fairly tiring and at times stressful. This sway control is a noticeable improvement. Now I can keep up with traffic without as many "oh-crap" moments.I also installed a Curt 8000lb. weight distribution hitch and that works great to level out the vehicle. Highly recommended for Chevy Avalanche and Suburban / Tahoe with coil spring rear suspension. These vehicles ride nice but really sag when trailering anything heavy.

50% improvement!
I have a 15' single axle camp trailer. When a cross wind or large truck passes by, it tosses around on the highway...it looks like a dog wagging it's tail. The instructions could be a little more clear, it doesn't tell you how tight the adjustment arm should be. My camper already had the mount ball on the frame, so if I decide to get a second anti-sway setup I'll have an extra to use. Very easy to put on and take off, I noticed after the first 20 minutes my trailer had wonderful improvement in the handling. It will only be used twice a year, but it's a great addition to keep things secure.

It works!
Works as advertised, I pull a utility trailer behind my 28ft bumper pull camper with a 1500lb polaris utv totalling 3000lbs. This keeps the camper from swaying and whipping.

Antisway bar
Very good, only reason I didn’t rate 5 star is the price. Harbor Freight has them for nearly half the price

Easy to install
Needed a swaybar for my trailer. Recognized this brand. Also ordered the drophitch with miniball extension. Easy to connect receiver on tow vehicle to miniball already bolted on my trailer. But bonus is this comes with parts if you need to add miniball to trailer and/or tow vehicle. This made a huge difference for me in reducing trailer sway.

Works Great, Nice Price
We bought a new travel trailer that didn't tow as nice as the one we traded in. The wheels were located more towards the center, rather more towards the rear of the trailer. It felt the trailer would try to "drive" the pickup in curves. We installed the anti-sway bar and the overdriven feeling went completely away, totally different (much better) towing experience.
